AI Summary

This bill requires the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) to electronically transmit the names of all registered businesses to the State Board of Elections (SBE). The SBE must then cross-reference those business names with the contributors listed on campaign finance reports, and develop a procedure to identify contributions made by businesses that are not registered with SDAT. The bill also specifies requirements for campaign finance reporting, including that electronic reports must be made under oath and with an electronic signature, subject to perjury penalties.
